Is 10.5 iPad Pro/2017 12.9 Touch ID gen 2?

[thadoggfather]

Does anyone know?

I would be a little miffed if it were still gen 1.

also wondering how much ram is in 10.5 iPad Pro, but I guess well find out next week

I was just in a chat on the apple store and they claim the ram is the same from before. 2 GB in 10.5 and 4 in the 12.9. Do we believe or not is the question.

Nah. It's probably their guess

I doubt they've been briefed.

I was transferred to a specialist.....but again, probably not correct. I wouldn't be surprised though.

It looks like it’s second gen according to their product page (2x faster)

Highly doubt it, Tim Cook will cut costs at every point and I'm sure there are old gen 1 Touch ID's sitting unused in warehouses

Yes, the Touch ID is Gen 2. Tech Spec can be found here:

Yah and they just magically made them 2x faster, nice troll bro.

Is the Touch ID solid like the iPhone 7 or is it still a physical button that pushes in?

It's mechanical and not stationary.

Shame but it's still physical. The iPhone has the Taptic Engine, but iPad doesn't deserve that apparently. And where's 3D Touch?

Physical not solid

iPad would need like 5 Taptic engines because it has a huge surface area that'd need to be covered for a vibrate. Plus, the solid home button would be the only reason for it because you don't carry the iPad in your pocket where a vibration notification would be useful. Taking up that much space for one purpose doesn't make sense.

Well, the Taptic Engine gives all kinds of haptic feedback throughout iOS, not only the notifications and home button. But yes, it would require some new setup. If they ever manage to include 3D Touch than they have to find a solution for the Taptic Engine as well.

3D Touch is what I'm holding out for - you know Apple is working hard to implement it given that every other device in their lineup features it. That'll get me to pull the trigger but these are very nice improvements.

Won't be true. Aside from it being silly that the iphone 7 plus has 3gb and the iPad 10.5" has 2gb....the iPad Pro 10.5" seems to be able to handle two slide over apps, where as the 9.7" can only do one. I expect that is due to RAM.

It could have some real impact on typing for example. For now though I'm tempted to get an iPad again just because of what iOS 11 will bring. Also maybe the 10.5" size, but I'll have to see that one in a store first.

One, two and three apps running in iPad Pro 9.7.

Has to be Gen 2 at this point. I'm still on my Air 2, I actually leave my iPad unlocked with no pin or FP as its always home.

That's what next years iPad model is for

Interesting. I don't see crowding my screen that much anyway, but we'll see how this pans out in the public beta.

Touch ID 2.

 

[omgitscro]

Xcode docs (and others with review units) have already confirmed that both Pro models have 4GB of RAM. This is in contrast to only the 12.9” Pro having 4GB, and the 9.7” Pro having 2GB.

 

[thadoggfather]

These pros are legit


4gb ram and Touch ID 2 and 64gb storage base
